​Hiring policy for volunteers

Wijdekerk Foundation has over fourty volunteers. Together they form the heart of our organization. In order to ensure that we hire volunteers who have honourable intentions, we use a short procedure: our hiring policy. 

The new volunteer first meets a member of the board. The volunteer signs the letter containing our vision (Dutch). For every volunteer a Certificate of Good Behaviour is requested.

​

Wijdekerk is thankful to be able to offer support to people and organizations that need it. We do so as a team, together with the partners in our network. Together we are Wijdekerk. We pray that our efforts help to make The Netherlands a safer place for LHBT+-persons. May God's love shine through us.
